Does the location of your MBA program limit which office you can recruit too? I want to work at MBB in NYC and have an admit to Stern and Ross however Ross is providing an 80k scholarship. I’d like to take this scholarship but I really have a desire to be in NYC post mba.

I was at Ross and there are people who head to NYC every year - and most other offices for that matter. Generally there will be more people at any school heading to the office closest to the school, but that is more due to self selection than any other factor.

Agreed that it’s mostly self selection. Rossers can get to any office. But many come from the Midwest, like it there, and will end up in Chi/Detroit.

Go to Ross. For 80k savings, you could fly to nyc for networking many times over.

Ross will provide a clearer path to MBB. It is a target school. Stern is not generally considered to be. Coupled with the scholarship, it’s a no brainer.

Many schools are either MBB (each firm separately) target schools or not. If they are, you can get to any office. If they aren’t, it’s very hard. There are a few schools somewhere around T15-25 that are unique in that they might get local MBB attention only. UCLA Anderson is an example; sometimes they get LA MBB love. Emory is another. NYC is a highly desirable office that doesn’t need to supplement with “local targets schools.

Agreed but McK will push you to Detroit / Chicago if they can.

Nope do you

No. Go where you want as long as they are similar prestige

Yes. MBBs actively recruit from both. That should be good enough for OP.

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
